my mind is still very fuzzy. I know about staging but there is another index and is from 1 to 10... and using variios factors to determine one;s level.

    Maybe you're thinking of the Van Nuys Prognostic Index for DCIS? I don't have a link to it, but you can Google VNPI. There are two versions of it: the older version includes tumor size, grade and margin width and the updated version includes age, I believe. Hope this helps!
